Drinking Locally, Travelling Globally

Elysian Fields – Seattle, Wa

Woo hoo!! Went to pick up Lush C tonight from work and ended up at Elysian Fields for a retirement party. Unfortunately, it was not mine. I didn’t know a lot of the people, but there was a core group of good friends to great me and make me feel welcome. It was a great time, and I was glad I made it.

Elysian Fields is located less than a football field away from Quest Field in the south end of Pioneer Square. It is a great place to meet before a game, after work, or whenever. They have a low-light, night club, in an industrial loft feel. A large facility with high ceilings, exposed beams, and concrete floors, I like it! The bar is a monstrous oval with plenty of seats to quench many of fans thirst.

Their food is good, but tends to be little expensive and a little fancy for a brewpub. They do have a great happy hour, and as I learned tonight, Taco Tuesday’s, where you can get $1.50 near- authentic style tacos. Mmm… I love the Mexican food.

It’s the beer that keeps me coming back to Elysian Fields. I really enjoy their standards like the Wise ESB, Immortal IPA, Perseus Porter and Dragonstooth Stout. They also have great seasonal favorites like Night Owl Pumpkin Ale, BiFrost Winter Ale, Pandora’s Bock and one of Lush C’s favorite Avitar Jasmine IPA. It is a must stop for anyone looking for a good beer in Seattle.

Beer Sampler:

Wise ESB – A golden copper well balanced beer. Malty and hoppy but not over the top. It is easy to drink, sit back, and enjoy.
